Knocknalosset House

County Cavan(Maudabawn)

Set in the heart of the beautiful lakelands in County Cavan, Knocknalosset House is a charming 3-bedroom Georgian farmhouse which has been lovingly restored into a comfortably family holiday home. With its country cottage good looks, beautiful interiors and gorgeous gardens, it’s your own little slice of holiday heaven.

Dating back to the late 1700s, this endearing and historic property has something of a split personality. To the North the look is one of reserved simplicity with sill-less windows and a small gabled porch. This contrasts with the more formal frontage with its tripartite sash windows and sandstone sills. Both have heaps of character and charm, and you have a real sense of the period of the house when you stay here.
This authentic ambiance continues inside where you’ll find true to its period lime washed walls and 19th Century panelled doors and shutters. It’s a delight to discover the furniture and décor have been carefully planned suit this handsome building.

There are 5 rooms on the ground floor and the heart of the home is of course the kitchen. This warm and welcoming room comes complete with a wood-burning stove to keep everyone nice and toasty. Set beside the fire is a beautiful large farmhouse table, the perfect place for hearty family breakfasts and dinners by the fire. There is also a separate formal dining room for those really special occasions. The beautiful ochre-coloured lounge also boasts a cosy wood-burner and is a lovely room to retreat to when tummies are full and the wine is flowing.

There are 3 generous bedrooms in Knocknalosset House, a gorgeous double bedroom with an antique cast iron bed and two further single bedrooms. One of these bedrooms has an en suite shower room and there’s an additional bathroom downstairs.

Outside you have beautiful gardens to the front to enjoy, the perfect spot for a picnic in the sun. On a sunny day the cottage and gardens look like something from a romantic period drama…

Local Area

County Cavan is a beautiful land of lakes and lush green fields in the heart of Ireland. A place away from it all but not that far away! There are 365 lakes to explore here, one for every day of the year! And Cavan is well known for its excellent restaurants and love of music which goes on into the wee small hours…

There is so much to see and do here, the difficult part will be choosing what to leave out! Discovering Cavan’s rich music scene is a must with fantastic events like Virginia Pumpkin and County Fleadh to inspire you. Bars and pubs across the county boast live music several nights a week including many in Cavan town itself. Settle down with a pint of the black stuff and enjoy some authentic traditional Irish music.

Foodies will be equally happy here, with everything from farmhouse owners inviting you in to sample their home-made recipes to culinary experts who can show you how to make the perfect boxty. And there are heaps of specialist delis, cafes, cheesemakers and restaurants to discover.

As this is rural Ireland there are of course an abundance of outdoor activities to enjoy from walking and horse-riding to fishing and boating. Plenty of outdoor fun for the kids too.
